[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We have been doing equity trainings in MCPS for at least the last ten years and sadly, it hasn't made much of a difference in standardized test performance.  I know various offices have made changes in how they identify students for specialized programs.  For instance, you get more of a break on your MAP percentile depending on your race and whether you attend a Title 1, Focus, or non-Focusschools.  That has opened up the opportunities for students who wouldn't necessarily show up on an Excel sheet based off MAP scores.  Is it right?  In some respects, sure.  I do feel bad for the students who don't make it in with high scores and recommendations solely because they're white or asian.  
We're reaching a point in MCPS of trying to be so woke that we're afraid of making important decisions out of fear of being called a racist organization.  [/quote]

^^^^ THIS ^^^^^^

This is just another audit to line pockets of think tanks and appease a set of very connected people. When the results do not come as they expected and desired, they will move the goal posts to get the scores and data they want.

Much like putting all students in honors classes because not all kids scored well enough to initially be put into honors classes. I was astounded that someone actually had the nerve to ask the obvious question at a PTA meeting, "Why call it a 'honors' class if every student is taking it?" The question was ignored, of course.

Meanwhile, MCPS can't find the money to pay for substitutes and bus drivers. I wonder why? [/quote]
